Pharmacists as Healthcare Innovators: Clinical Pharmacy’s Role in Comprehensive Patient Care and Safety

Abstract

Pharmacists have traditionally been viewed as dispensers of medications, responsible for filling prescriptions and ensuring the safe distribution of drugs (Bhakta ., et al .2022).   However, in modern healthcare systems, their role has significantly expanded. Today, pharmacists are recognized as essential contributors to patient care, integrating their expertise in medication management with broader clinical responsibilities to optimize health outcomes (American Pharmacists Association,2020).
